Ruby was in Matilda, the Musical at school. Great job!

Ruby played Grandmother Hood in the school play Big Bad.

Books and more books for Ruby’s birthday.

Francine photo bomb!

Henry sent the best thank you note for his birthday present!

His handwriting is very good, but just in case you’re reading this on your phone:

Hi Aunt Kate. Thank you for my new game. It is so fun! I look forward to beating the game. I used to think that Mario was the best but now I have gave Zelda another chance I am really enjoying it. Love, Henry

It makes an auntie want to send the kid a million more!

No wonder their smiles are so big.

In the last post, I mentioned that Brent received a major award. And now I have details. He received the Harry Joy Dunbaugh Distinguished Professor Award at Illinois College, which is considered the highest honor an Illinois College faculty member can receive!
